The unilateral transfer of the state contract, a new exceptional power of the administration? and its weighting with respect to the rights of the contractor affected by the measure

La cesión unilateral del contrato estatal por actos de corrupción sin lugar a indemnización al contratista inhábil se presentó en el Congreso de la República como una medida necesaria para avanzar en la lucha contra la corrupción, no obstante, debido a su novedosa incursión en la normativa contractual pública, se hace necesario revisar los referentes legales, normativos o contractuales sobre los cuales se implementará y sí a través de ella se confiere un poder excepcional a la administración pública sobre sus contratistas que desborda el legítimo ejercicio del poder punitivo del Estado.The unilateral assignment of the state contract for acts of corruption without compensation to the unqualified contractor was presented in the Congress of the Republic as a necessary measure to advance in the fight against corruption, however, due to its novel incursion into contractual regulations makes it necessary to review the legal, regulatory or contractual references on which it will be implemented and if through it an exceptional power is conferred on the public administration over its contractors that goes beyond the legitimate exercise of the punitive power of the State.Magíster en Derecho AdministrativoMaestrí
